DDG is the search engine, just change your engine with the drop down.

DDG should do the currency conversions. But, you know your phone has a calculator that doesn’t send data anywhere, right? Why wait for the server to do math when you can do it all in your hand?

Cobbler!

The insect world is a tiny nightmarish hellscape of armor, weapons, and sudden death.

Also, evolution isn’t maximally efficient, it’s just barely efficient enough. Eyes are a janky, often low-fi is good enough, affair. 99.9% of species that have ever existed are extinct. 99.9999999999% of species alive today do the bare friggin’ minimum to throw DNA into either the wind or a hole and maaaaybe do nothing more than reproduce.

The Helicoprion existed.

Jellyfish. WTF?

Just boot to a USB for a low-risk test.

Start page is Dutch. And skimming Google search results isn’t exactly a huge value add for Google, other than the stripped down results will include some Google-oriented SEO. A good ad blocker will effectively eliminate any benefit to Big G.

Startpage works well. You also need a VPN and to use private mode in a browser with a low fingerprint.

I saw that name and design and wondered what in the hell that was.

FFS, just let me pee directly into a drain pipe that goes into the wall. I don’t need this fancy art piece as a piss middleman.

And they don’t have 100% of the dire wolf DNA sequenced, nor do they have DNA of the dire wolf’s extinct ancestor between it and Canis lupus. It’s a grey wolf with genes from a dire wolf added in.

F me

I also used to listen to C2C like it was from up on high.

I’ve recently started listening to classic C2C episodes, and in hindsight, WOW, it was so much BS. Like, sooooo much. I’m fairly tolerant to woo, but there just so much hyped made up whole cloth.

Seriously. HN doesn’t even actually need JS to read it. And it’s certainly not filled with trackers by any means. Might as well call Lemmy a privacy nightmare.

Not really. I’ve only seen it at a couple local type places. No large chain has it as a standard combination. TBH, that’s kind of weird to peg that of all things as “an American” slice.

I also use them, and have liked the results.

That’s implied. Wouldn’t have it any other way.

Capers are pickled, so they bring the acid, along with the tomato sauce. The rest is major umami punch, but you go veeeery sparingly.

🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌🤌

Love them figs!

The underrated combos is where the gains are.

Anchovies with olives and capers.

We all know pineapple and Canadian bacon (can also be Spam).

Pepperoni and jalapeños.

Blue cheese, fig, and caramelized onion.

Pesto as the sauce under the cheese and fresh or sun dried tomatoes on top.

We can be friends.

I mean, there’s about 387 million Nollywood and Ghannywood movies set in villages or small towns.

The South African series Trackers is awesome, and has some rural settings. But it’s highly produced drama.

Some episodes of Ultimate Braii Master or Taste of South Africa show less rural settings.

There’s a season of 90 Day Fiance with Baby Girl Lisa and Usman that shows pretty accurate village life.
